Pineapplebob's Sniper Rifle

Introduction: Pineapplebob's Sniper Rifle

This is a sniper rifle made out of knex. It is over 3 feet long and shoots farther than 120 feet. Please comment. PLEASE RATE. Be sure to check the yellow squares on the pics, for they have important information. I got this gun to shoot through a few cola cans and mulitple pieces of cardboard without sharpened rods. I got it to shoot through 16 pieces of cardboard and still, it kept going. This gun's effective range is 110 feet, however it can shoot up to 200 feet. Also, i got it to shoot through 5 cola cans. Once again, i didn't use a single sharpened rod. I did use a sharpened rod when it came to the 16 p;ieces of cardboard, though.Another good side to this gun is that the magazine is really easy to load, so there is no struggling when you're using it to play against your friends (however, i do suggest lowering the power a bit so you do not injure your friend greatly.)

Step 1: The Barrel

Step 2: The Cover

This is a cover to the barrel. It shouldn't be that hard to understand. Don't build the hidden magazine yet.

1: The Completed Cover
2+3: Make Two Of These
4: Make These
5: Attach Them Here
6: Slide The Third One Through Here
7: Attach The Second Frame. Add the connectors
8: Make two of these
9: Attach one here
10: Attach one here too

Step 7: The Trigger and String Attachments.

Step 8: The Stock and Butt

The stock is quite short. The butt is very comfortable and fits right under your arm. It is strong, so you can lean against it.

Step 9: Loading and Firing

1: The Firing Pen is a gray rod with an orange connector on it. Add two rubberbands and stretch them from the orange connector to the end of the barrel.
2: Tape the orange connector so it will stay sturdy.
3: Slip a string through the hole in the orange connector and double knot it.
4: Add four blue rods in the magazine as shown in step 4.
5: Attach a rubberband onto the block trigger.
6: Grab the string and pull it back. The string pulls the firing pen back. When the firing pen is back far enough, the block trigger will fall down into place, blocking the firing pen from moving back further into the barrel. At the same time, the blue rod from the magazine should fall down onto the tan connectors.
7: Pull the real trigger, pulling back the block trigger and launching a blue rod at anything infront of you. (I am not responsible for who or what you launch this at. Any injuries will be you own fault. Do not shoot at animals.)
8:Repeat until magazine is empty, then refill.

i admit now that knex guns are frankly AWESOME(this one included) but still you have to have a lot of time and patience for this kind of thing which most people dont have
and look at I_am_Canadian's cannon thing
ITS INSANE
it must have taken forever to build and it used like 3,00 piecesces
(its awesomely awesome though)
my point is- how can serious knex builders have time for anything else?!

Hi, I built this gun, and not to sound rude or anything, but it was not worth it, it was to hard to load, i broke a whole bunch of pieces, and it would not fire more than 30 or 40 feets, regardless of how many #64 rubberbands i put on it. if you can think of another gun that has a huge range and accuracy, that would be cool. Thanks!

try lookin up knex high power crossbow.it is really big and pretty powerful.its also got a grapplin gun attatchment,broke through balsa wood and 4 layers uv cardboard. i didnt post it either. i just built it
